Media/Film Studies 2019-20 Visiting Faculty Job Summary This is a two-quarter visiting faculty position for fall/winter of the 2019-20 academic year. Evergreen is seeking a visiting Media or Film Studies faculty to teach in a team with a psychology faculty and a literary studies faculty in an interdisciplinary academic program geared for first-year students. In Madness and Creativity: The Psychological Link, students will be studying abnormal psychology, reading psychology and literary texts, and engaging in creative production over two quarters. The visiting faculty will work closely with students in the study of film history, film theory, and in media production workshops using simple equipment, including cellphones. In collaboration with faculty partners, s/he will engage in program planning prior to the start and facilitate weekly book seminars with students. Teaching experience in a college setting is required. Areas of teaching include scriptwriting, acting, shooting, critique, and peer editing of film/video, as well as analysis of feature films and documentaries that deal with psychology, imagination, and human creative potential. MFA in Media or Film Studies is required. Experience linking media with other disciplines, such as psychology and literature, is highly desirable. Experience working across significant differences (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), and working with diverse and underserved students is also highly desirable. Job Expectations Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration. Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other. A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
